Cadavers (7) vs BluesThursday July 2nd
BU 10:20pm
7-0 WIN!
The Blogger is glad to report 2 things. The first is that he is finally starting to catch up on his "side-job" as team blogger and again apologises for the backlog. The Second (which is even better) is that Uber Guest Blogger iJosh is on the ball with a terrific game story from the Lobsters game from last Thursday.
Here's iJosh with a recap of the action:
"Over the last year or so the Lobsters, with the exception of one hard fought tie, have had our number. So if I told you that one team would be outnumbered, out hustled, out defended and just out played, which team would you think I was talking of? Well SURPRISE!!! You probably
didn't guess correctly. Yes boys and girls this one was a one sided
game in our favor and it was a wire to wire team effort.
So the rainy Thursday night game started with a full squad of 12. The Dead in Yellow's (we are playing the Lobsters so the Cads would don the yellow jerseys this night) defensive group consisted of: Capt George, Stephen Baker, Dave Di and Kevin Parker. The offense would be set with:
Larry and Roman as centers with the wing pairs of: Jasse and iJosh; Ken Douville and Matvey; Dr. Pounds and KenMitch.
But this wasn't without a sour feeling as two days before fellow teammate Chris Fosdick was put
on the DL after having surgery to repair a broken wrist from the previous game. He was in our thoughts and just before the game began some guy sauntered into the locker room and started a little speech. Some old guy. His name might have been Nat or Ned or maybe Knute. Anyway he said: "I just came from visiting Chris and he told me: 'sometime, when the team is up against it -- and the breaks usually beat the boys -- tell them to go out there with all they got and win just one for the Chrisser. I don't know where I'll be then', he said, 'but I'll read the blog the next day - and I'll be happy'"
So motivation in hand, the first shift promptly set the tone. Off the face-off the puck would bounce around the neutral zone and back to the defense. The defense would send a pass to iJosh just beyond the red line, who hit a streaking Larry Bell. Larry took the puck deep, made the pass to Jasse, who got sort of caught on his own stick and started to lose his balance and control. But the Jasseman would keep himself in control just long enough to get off the shot before collapsing into a heap in the crease and sliding into the scrum. The puck would find its way into the net for a very quick 1-0 lead. Then the Lobsters would get the one and only penalty of the game, a "too many men on the ice"
penalty that is usually reserved for the fine players of Schlidaveurs.
Play would go back and forth a bit and the Cads seemed to be giving up the puck and not necessarily making the best of passes. But the defense and Brian would bail them out a bit. But a few shifts later, Jasse would strike again. This time he would net one from Roman and iJosh, who fell to the ice and found a way to send the puck to Roman without using his hands, giving the Zombies a 2-0 lead. Play would continue to be inconsistent, but at the end of the period the score would be 2-0 Yellow.
Second verse, just like the first...and I mean that in a good way. The Schli...er Cads continued to take it to the Lobsters. Playing with a 2-0 lead the Cads hoped not to give up the gritty play and or the momentum that so often eludes us. And they would not lose it as Larry would send a backhand to iJosh, who would send a back pass to Jasse, who would send the backhand back to Bell, who would backhand the black disc into the back of the net. 3-0 Cadavers. So two shifts or so later, the Jasseman would continue to play inspired hockey. This time Dave Di would rotate deep into the offensive zone. Jasse would cover the point. Dave would make an attempt and then would slide the puck back to the point where Jasse would wrist a BEEE-EAUTIFUL shot past the keeper short side. 4-0 Dead. Then Roman felt the need to get involved as he would put one in from Parker and Dave Di. That would close out the 2nd period and the Zombies would take a 5 goal pad into the 3rd.
The third would be a bit more defensive. The Lobsters, I am sure, did not want to lose to us. Especially not like this. They were a bit steamed. The were trying to claw back and made some hits. But the Cads would not give in and played level-headed hockey. In one shift I swear Matvey was going to retaliate after being knocked to the ice. Nope he didn't. Then I though Ken D would do something after taking a check.
Again nope. And so the Cads were able to continue their assault. This time Mr. Bell would take a pass from Roman and rush toward the net.
Over on the bench Jasse turned and declared, "He is going backhand". Lo and behold, Larry would go top side on his backhand to pretty much put this game away. But Jasse, already with the hat trick was getting addicted and needed his next hit, I mean goal. This time he would take a pass from iJosh and Larry as he put it away for his 4th of the game.
This would round out the scoring and as the horn sounded, we looked up and saw a 7-0 win.
This blog has been mostly about scoring, since there was so much of it.
However the defense from the goalie to the D-men to the entire team defense was just in tune almost all night. I'm not saying we didn't have breakdowns. We did. But there was always the one person to pick up the slack (thanks Brian mostly). There were also at least 5 pucks that hit the post. 2 or 3 from us. So this could have been a 7-2 or a 9-0 game depending on a centimeter here or there. All in all just a great game. The beer, provided by Larry and iJosh, tasted good especially after a win like this. But Jasse wouldn't know as he is on a 28 day program or so and is without beer. You make the assumption.
Stars for the Game:
3rd Star: Brian for his shutout and the Team Defense: There are just so many people to give stars to tonight. But without the overall effort of the team defensively, this could have gone the other way against a team like the Lobsters.
2nd Star: Larry Bell for a 2 goal, 2 assist night. He helped set the tone and made the right moves at the right time.
1st Star: You know him, you love him, you think he's in outpatient rehab, but it is really a workout regiment, Mike Jasse for his 4 goal, 1 assist night that was just awesome. "
